Today I wanted to share one of my favorite stories in the Bible...."Mary and her alabaster box." Like many of us today, Mary was a sinner who wanted redemption for her erred ways. Mary realized she had encountered the Lord and worshipped him with everything she had. She didn't care who was looking at her or what they were saying about her as she made her way to Jesus. She didn't worry about what it might look like to those that didn't understand. She knew and the Lord knew and that was all that mattered. THAT is all that REALLY matters. In a world that is full of putrid morals and ideals of recidivism sometimes we become so enthralled by the forgotten path in which God is trying to guide us. However, if your heart is right with God and you have that personal relationship with Him, then don't worry how people talk about you nor what they say about you; JUST keep doing what you are doing to keep that personal closeness with Him always. What is right for you may not be right for others and what is right for others may not be right for you. It is up to each of us to work out our own salvation.
Mary sacrificed her future for His present presence. What would you give to be saturated in His presence for just thirty seconds? It's time to break your alabaster box. When Mary went home the night after she broke her alabaster box of brokenness over Jesus, she still smelled like Him. When she laid down to sleep, she still smelled like Him. When she got up the next morning, she still smelled like Him. Mary invested all that she had for one encounter with Jesus. She embodies the passion that drives 'God Chasers' around the world. We all want to see Him, to sense His presence and draw near in worship and adoration. The more of Him we get, the more of Him we must have. Often, we find ourselves unable to find satisfactions because there is a fire in our bones that launches us in a desperate search for His manifested presence.
Are you desperate for the kind of God encounter that goes with you? This is the key: You must break your own alabaster box.
Will you be a Mary, a passionate box-breaker bearing the fragrance of brokenness? First, you must abandon the crowd of voices trying to steal you from God in the name of preserving man's program. … The Father is bending over the ramparts of heaven. He hears the irresistible crackle and the tinkle of breaking alabaster boxes… Is that the sound of your heart breaking? An incredible fragrance is filling the atmosphere, and I hear the rumors of His sudden approach.
God Bless,
